Drive Stops Erasing at 95%

[ectweak]

Hello,

 

I attempted to burn a BD-RE DL from TDK today (Model BEV50HCPWA3A). I performed the Full Erase that ImgBurn requires, however at 95%, it stalled, returning the following.

I restarted my PC, and am currently attempting to erase the disc again.

 

I have noticed that it returns

but continues to increase in percentage of completion.

am I just being impatient at the 95% hang, or is there something else that may be going on?

Edit 2: Hmm, I just noticed there was a firmware checker built into ImgBurn... and here I am thinking the one on LG's website was the newest... attempting that now

The drive is in complete control when doing that stage of the erase and it returns the % complete values.

 

If it's getting stuck, it must be having an issue with the disc you're using.

 

The firmware update may help... or it may not.

It appears that the firmware update did help... I figured it was a drive thing, but I appreciate your reply anyhow.
